This has been really difficult to choose. I've only had my DSLR since April 2011 and I've been on a huge learning curve with it. December alone has seen several images that I could have picked to go into this list. Well 3 had to be picked and here they are

Taken on my first (of many) surf trip to Oman this year. As well as photography surfing has been the other big learning curve for me this year. This one was published in Outdoor UAE along with some other shots from the trip. To see an online copy of the mag including the article click HERE

This is one my favourites from my Decemberfest collection. It shows a lot of what is great about UAE mountain biking, the blue skies, the harsh environment and the single track snaking into the distance. I'm loving the 30mm lens I've been using and its shallow DOF.

I must go and revisit the fish market with my 30mm f1.4 lens and 50mm f1.8 lenses. Last time I visited I really struggled with the 18 to 135 kit lens because of the light. I'm also 6 months further down the line with my photography and it would be interesting to see if I 'see' things a bit differently now
